Introducing: Grace Marriage

In 2019, the Office of Marriage & Family Life completed a one-year pilot using Grace Marriage, an on-going, proactive, quarterly approach to marriage enrichment where couples spend six hours every 90 days investing in their marriage. Twenty-two Catholic couples from six parishes in the Owensboro area participated. Based on their feedback, Bishop Medley wrote a letter of endorsement and we hope to offer Grace Marriage in other areas of the Diocese as well.

Registration for groups opens February 14^th at OwensboroDiocese.org/Grace-Marriage.  If you would like more information about Grace Marriage please contact the Office of Marriage & Family Life.

SEEK a conference by FOCUS -  is an invitation to college students everywhere to explore life’s bigger questions: who we are, where we’re going and what we seek along the journey. As FOCUS’ national conference, SEEK encourages all students to come explore what they truly seek: to learn about the faith, to share in friendship, to be encouraged in their unique vocation — and to experience the love, hope and very real presence of Jesus Christ through His Church.

Hosted for five days every other year, SEEK gathers thousands of college students together from all across the country for a time of prayer, fellowship, engaging talks, inspiring entertainment — and, most importantly, a chance to encounter Christ in a life-changing way.
